I so wanna snuggle with lil Ora and her snowsuit. she is truly a STAR! I cant tell if Lupin is in mid eye-roll or what though. also, that HRMPH sounds like the noise Sara makes when I ask her to clear out of the bathroom!
I don’t know if anyone has already mentioned this that I missed, but I saw someone post on Facebook that there is a new BCN book in pre-order on Amazon. I looked it up and it is there it is called, “Everything’s Coming Up Beatrix!”.
If she does make it outside, she will probably run into a certain barn cat who will send her straight back in. However, while it is generally unwise to doubt Ora Zella, my bet is that she can’t even make it in that snowsuit.
I couldn’t help thinking of my son’s first encounter with a snowsuit. He’d just turned 2, & his grandparents had sent him a light gray snowsuit for Christmas. It made him look like an adorable small Biff the Michelin Man, but it was so stiff that when he tried to take a step in it, he fell TIIIIIM-BERRRRRRRRRR!!! right flat onto his face! Poor kid…I don’t know how I managed not to bust out laughing hysterically…
This is both adorable and sad…. though I do hope this explores the fact the cats may actually want to go outside sometimes. Elvis I at least get as leaving for a minute caused him to get horribly lost, but why do the rest of them have no desire to be indoor outdoor kitties?
I wish there was a search feature for this comic. I am thinking of a strip where one of the kids was sick and Elvis observed something like “Kids are made of peanut butter and germs”. I’d like to show it to a coworker whose 10 month old is starting to pick up everything from day care and is sick again. But I don’t know how to find it and I sure don’t have time to re-read every strip.
OT: Took Emerald the Yodeling Cat to the vet today for shots and bloodwork prior to Trouble Puff removal next month. The lab work was inconclusive as to whether he if FEL/FIV positive, so $500 later, they are sending it out for a different lab for testing. He did not Yodel at all at the Vets or in the car. He hasn’t made any noise since we got home. No place to isolate him from the other cats, so he is still with the pack. They’ve all had their shots, and no one has been bitten, since they only do chase scenes. Poor young Emerald the Yodeling Cat. He is up to 13.4 pounds now. He was under 7 when he first came in.
Asking for positive thoughts and purrs for our calico Stevie Nicks, she will be spayed tomorrow. I don’t post often ,but I have posted since the oldeTuesday/Thursday strips.
Our big, black, floofy Norwegian Forest cat, Odinsdottir, and our two Siameseses, Kei and Yuri, love to go out in the snow. I was surprised by the two Meezers, but they just love it.

A kitty snow suit? (Shades of "Christmas Story!) But… she couldn’t have zipped it up herself, who helped or dressed her?!

Twinkle, twinkle, tortie star,
Don’t you waddle very far!
Up a snow drift piled so high,
An evil gleam in your eye.

James Rado, Gerome Ragni, Galt MacDermot: Good Morning Starshine
Good morning, Starfish
You’re all ready to go
Out in the vast cold waste
To play in the snow!
Good morning, Starfish
You move right along,
But please listen to Lupin,
And Goldie, the cold is way to strong!
…….
(Chorus)
Gliddy Gloop Gloopy, Nibby Nabby Noopy, oh please don’t go
Beatrix says you shouldn’t, and really she’s been there, she oughta know!
Tooby ooba walla, Elvis saying nada!
Going outside is so wrong!
…….
Good morning, Starfish,
It’s really unwise
To go out in the snow
As it falls from the sky!
Don’t go out, Starfish,
You’ll get in a jam!
Stay inside as the Woman
Prepares to serve us kitties ham!
…….
(Chorus) I’m not typing all that again!
…….
Can you hear us plead,
Don’t go outside,
Please stay inside,
It’s too cold outside
It’s warm here inside,
Inside abide,
Please stay inside!
Please stay inside, Don’t go outside
Don’t, Don’t, Don’t, Don’t
Please Don’t go outside!
Well, doesn’t she look like a starfish in that adorable outfit?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
Ora Z: Hey, Iggy! Want to go exploring?
Iggy Shipwright: Sure. Where do you want to go?
Ora Z: Let’s look for the East Pole!
Iggy: Alright. Do you know where to look?
Ora: I know where East is. We’ll know it when we find it.
At the Royal Kitchen
Thomios: Here’s a box lunch for you. Don’t forget to come back in time for dinner tonight.
Elvis-Anum: Is it safe for them going out exploring all by themselves?
Puckmosis: Don’t worry. Beatrixia is going with them.
Outside
Iggy: I know how to go East. Shall we start in that direction?
Bea: Good idea. We can stop by the Xanadu hive to say hi and maybe get some honey.
At the Xanadu Hive
Bea: Hello, Ladies. Meet my friends Iggy Shipwright and Ora Z.
Kira: What brings you out on a fine day like today?
Ora: We’re heading out to find the East Pole.
Kira: Then you’ll want to take some honey with you. Good thing we have extra.
Iggy: Thank you, Miss Kira.
Kira: Oh, you’re welcome. And just call me Kira.
Sometime Later
Ora: It’s almost time for lunch. Why don’t we take a break?
Bea: Alright. Then we can continue on.

Yeah, hey, hey
When you dress up like a star
Your HRMPH! won’t take you very far, yeah
When going out has been your dream
Snow ain’t always what it seems, oh yeah
The freeze will make it very clear, hey
You’ll wish you stayed right in here, chyeah!
You’re a shining star
No matter where you are
Going out you’ll see
How cold it truly be
(How cold it truly be)
Shining star, come into view
And shine your feisty charm on thru
Gather strength to stay out long, oh yeah
Yeah, make your fur big and warm, yeah
Born a kitten to have fun, yeah
Whoa, big cats’ work has just begun
Yeah, they don’t let you stand alone, oh no
Bless them now, you’ll try to go
Oh yeah, oh yeah
She’s a shining star
The cutest star by far
Shining bright we see
How cuddly she can be
Shining star for us to see
That irrepressible Ora Zee
